Review
"The most valuable publication about dogs since Scott and Fuller′s classic text, Genetics and the Social Behavior of the Dog, published in 1965."
Victoria Lea Voith, President, American Vetirinary Society of Animal Behavior
"The objective of giving a scientific account of all aspects of learning in dogs has been accomplished to a very high degree. ... No other comparable scientific texts are available."
Andrew Luescher, Director, Animal Behavior Clinic, School of Veterinary Medicine, Purdue University

Customer Reviews
A must have.
For anyone that is seriously interested in canine behaviour, health, genetics etc, this book is a must have. In particular, anyone studying towards canine qualifications will find many of the need to know aspects right here. Occasionally, you will not find what you need, but looking at Volume two or Three should help. Personally I have all three of the 'Handbook of applied dog behavior and training' books and altough somewhat expensive, I am very glad I purchased them. They have served me very well as I study Canine Behaviour.
Excellent, Five stars from me.
